Day 6 of the 2011 World Series of Poker main event just came to a close, with 57 of the original 6,865 entrants making it through to Day 7 on Monday.

At the top of the leaderboard is Ryan Lenaghan, who will be taking nearly 13 million chips with him into Day 7 on Monday. This is nearly 3 million chips more than his next closest competitor, Ben Lamb (9,980,000).

As a result of his deep run in the main event, Ben Lamb has passed Phil Hellmuth and is now sitting atop the 2011 World Series of Poker POY race. Lamb will be looking to pad his lead with a strong finish in the main event (don't forget that the WSOPE also counts towards the POY race as well).

The last woman standing in the main event is Erika Moutinho, who will be taking a stack of around 2 million chips with her into Day 7. Moutinho is the girlfriend of David "Doc" Sands, who is also still alive in the main event. As a matter of fact, they will be playing at the same table when play gets underway on Day 7.
